National disgrace

This Kavanaugh thing has gotten out of hand. You’ve got people protesting that have no clue what the end is going to be, and yet they’re tearing this guy apart. If it’s true, I’m sorry. But people just ought to shut their mouths until the facts come in. And the other thing is, I’m disgraced with the Senate and the government the way they’re letting this be handled. It should have never been brought out in public until they found out and had the FBI investigate and if it was then end it. Very simple. But we’re making just a big show out of this whole thing. It’s a disgrace to this government and to this country.

Believe us

Regarding the comments on the Kavanaugh hearing in Talk of the County: If Jesus said he who was without sin, cast the first stone. In this case, not stones are being cast. It’s boulders. As a young child, I had such an experience and who was I going to tell. Who would be believe me as the offender was a sergeant on a suburban police force. Hardly a day goes by that the event doesn’t enter my mind. I can still hear the heavy breathing.

No proof

This is the only question to ask yourself about the hearing on Brett Kavanaugh Could he possibly be telling the truth? Is he innocent of all the charges that are being brought against him? And has anybody proven anything? As I sit back and look at this, there has been no proof. It has all been emotion and passion and a desire to keep him off the court by those on the left. Because the issue here is not Brett Kavanaugh’s integrity — which he has in truckloads compared to most of us — it’s because the left’s bent on using the courts to change legislation to benefit them. Roe v. Wade, same-sex marriage, blah blah, blah. None of the victories that the left has gotten in recent years comes from legislation because the American public does not agree with them. That is why they have overrun the courts with leftist judges.

Shame on the Democrats and the senators for treating Kavanaugh the way he’s been treated — as a criminal. You treat him worse than you do the street thugs. Maybe we should start looking at all the representatives that represent the United States in the same manner, and start having FBI checks into each and every one of your backgrounds — all the way back to when you were born.

Haters

To the man or woman who said the left is filled with hate. You’re right. We are filled with hate. We hate it when a woman who says me too is accused of lying before she is heard. We hate it when men are gunned down in the street because of the color of their skin. We hate it when Nazis are called fine people. We hate it when science is suppressed in favor of profits for rich people. We hate it when Social Security is cut. We hate it when poor people and handicapped people can’t get services or medical help because rich people need a tax cut. We hate it when children go hungry in this rich country of ours. We hate it when people are discriminated against. We hate it when children are put in cages to prove some point to racists. We hate it when U.S. citizens can’t get a decent education because they can’t afford it. We hate it when people — especially veterans — are homeless. We hate it when our tax dollars are used to bomb countries that are no threat to us. We hate it when soldiers’ lives are lost in those same pointless wars. We hate corruption in our government. We hate that you can buy a senator or a congressperson. We hate a lot of things, but we don’t hate you. And, we love America.
